[t-gator]

We were considered the leaders in August so figured he went with a more stable program and Clemson already had 3.

ESD can't come soon enough.

Maybe that's him just attempting to be optimistic and positive. You should try it sometime.

I used to be considered a pumper, but 15 years of garbage kinda takes optimism out of ya. We suck until we don’t (motto for my Jags too)

Since when do we not make fun of other people on here?

Then quit friggin conversing with him or put him ignore...lol.

Sure, you just always seem to be arguing with him. Doesn't seem accomplish much.

Man you are boorish af. You gotta be one fragile mf to have to answer everything, rub in every chance you get, and basically never stfu.

I really wish we'd stop blaming every lost recruiting battle on nil. I guess this is the first time in history high school kids have gotten money or benefits to play college football? It's been going on forever, they just gotta pay taxes on it now.

I don't really disagree with you. If NIL is why the blue chippers are going where they are, then the NIL game at UF has to be brought up to snuff. Go recruit a billionaire alum like Miami.

I think it sucks that's where college football is, but there's no time to wallow.

I still think that's the primary reason in most cases. If a kid can get $500,000 in one place, or $2 million in another, what is he going to choose? That's going to trump the team he prefers, the scheme he prefers, the team momma prefers, everything. Teenagers aren't thinking what's best for them years down the line, they are thinking about now. They aren't rational. Were YOU rational at 18? I sure as hell wasn't.

That RB that went to Jackson State over FSU is the poster child for this. By every indication, McClain was a Gator until he got the $$$ offer from Miami. That's not me sucking on the staff, I think that's what friggin' happened. If UF wanted McClain, they should have matched the offer.
